The Summer Mixtape Festival (simply known as the Mixtape Festival) was a major summer music festival launched in summer 2012. The first festival was held in Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, Pennsylvania on August 17–18, 2012, featuring a number of icons and mainstream headliners such as New Kids on the Block, Backstreet Boys, Kelly Clarkson, The Wanted, The Fray, and LL Cool J.[1] The festival featured two stages over two days.
The festival also featured fan events (for example Backstreet Boys' barbecue event "BSBBQ"[2]), interactive exhibits, food trucks, celebrity and special guest appearances, and a spa oasis.[3]
